Episode Suddenly won't open. Stuck on Setting up connections
I have had Episode for years without any issues. It is on a Windows Server 2008 machine. I was running Episode 7.3 and it just stopped. I restarted the server and tried reopening it. When it tried to open I get the hour glass and it just sits on loading and says Setting up Connections. I tried throwing out the temporary files and that did not help. I tried repairing it and tried reinstalling Episode. I then resorted to reinstalling Windows Server 2008 completely and installing the latest version of 7.5. Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?

Episode 7.5 requires Server 2012 as per the Release Notes Also the Notes state that Episode 7 does not support Server 2008.

True, but it did work perfectly fine on it for at least the past 3 or 4 years. We updated from 6.5 a long time ago. Maybe finally something on my system updated and caused it to stop.

jim It's possible an update can cause an issue. Ideally one should "freeze" a system if critical software can't be updated. You could try a drive with a clean install (swap the boot drive for example).

thanks, I ended up placing it on another machine and it does happen to have Server 2012. It opens on this one fine.

jim That's good to hear. Thanks for confirming.

Hi, I'm having the same problem, can reinstall it but wonder what will happen to the already activated serial number

Ken Ogawa Serial number should be retained.
